IMPROVEMENT IN LAMP-LIGHTING DEVICE.

l Be it known thatrIi NOAH L. COLE, of Norwich, in the county oi' New London, and State-,ot` Connecticut,

have invented .a new and-useful Instrument for the Lighting of Street or other Lamps andlIdohereby declare that the following is. a. full, clear, and exact description ofthe construction and operation of the same, reference being had to the annexed drawings, making a part of this spcification, in which-- i Figure 1 is a'perspeetive view.

Figure 2l is an end vew'of the wrench.

Figure V3, an lend view of the cylinder.

Figure-4, a. view showing the thumb-spring; and

1 Figure 5, a longitudinalsection, showing all its parts. A l

I construct my. gaslighter of a. cylinder, a, containing espiral spring,b, and having a slot, both on top and bottom, and fastened into ahandle, c. Through the, slots moves the draw-pin d, which is attached to thepiston e, and also tothe catch-springf. This cylinder is encased .with another cylinder, l, having slots opposite those in a, as shown atp in ig..4. The cylinder g isl made to revolve upon the cylinder `a, (which serves as an ax is,)

and is made to contain any number of'chambers for-matches, as shown at g. 3. The end of the cylinder a is inadesolil by'a plug, h, over which fits the wrench z', and to which it is fastened by a set-screw, j. This wrench may be used forturnng the gas-steps, and en this wrench is placed a friction-spring, L'. By drawing the draw -pin d hack until the catch springf catches over the end of the Ycylinder l, as shown .in iig. 4, the piston e is drawn-to the end of the cylinder y, and by pushingd'own the thuInb-springf, as shown in fig. 5, it is advanced by the spring b, and forces the match through the friction-point 7c, igniting the same, and holding itin'position,

as, shown in g. l. The slots in the cylinders a and Z are made long enough to permit the piston e to be drawn; Vout of the cylinder g, permitting'it to revolve wheneverneeessary to use another match. The thumb-springf moves in a groove and over a. springy'n., which keeps it in position. A cylindrical piece of iron, 0,!fnoves inthe cylinder a to keep 'the draw-pin d perpendicular. a' is a stationary rim, pierced with holes opposite to those in the barrel g, guiding the piston e, having a. flange on which {its the outer cylinder l:

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure byIietters Patent, is v f 1. The within-described combination of devices for ejeeting matches, consisting essentially ofthe revolving chamhered 'cylinder g, piston e, cntch-springf, draw-pin d, spring b, cylinders a and l, and handle e, or their equivalents, arran'lged and operating substantially as described. y Y

* 2. In combination with the elements of the preceding ela-use, I claim the igniting and holding-spring k,

appliediand operating substantially as described.

described.

3. I also claim the wrench a', applied Vto a match-ejecting instrument, in the manne!` and` for the purpose NOAH L. e'oLn.
